Almost anyone who is an only semi-serious port maintainer (meaning they only have a select few number of ports to maintain and are only trying to contribute/participate) knows that maybe this issue is due to the porter's handbook. Specifically http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/porting-submitting.html which blatantly states that all submissions whether they are new OR updates be submitted in shar format. Maybe the commiters should bring this up and have a few less to deal with..? Just a suggestion.
That page doesn't say what you think it says.
Its context is the creation of a new port. It doesn't say anything about updating an existing port. Perhaps the problem is that some people never read the *rest* of the handbook? If they would, they'd find this page, which explicitly says to use 'diff -ruN': http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/port-upgrading.html _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
